Ductless Mini-Splits in Muncie, IN
Zoned cooling and heating for older Muncie homes without ductwork. 1 to 5 zone systems from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG.
A lot of Muncie housing predates central air. Pre-war homes on Riverside, Normal City, the Westside, and the older parts of the Southside were heated by radiators, boilers, or gravity furnaces with no ductwork. Adding traditional central AC means cutting holes through plaster walls, losing closet space, and dropping ceilings. A ductless mini-split skips all of that. One outdoor condenser feeds one or more wall-mounted indoor heads through a 3-inch sleeve.
Mini-splits also solve common second-floor heat complaints in Halteman Village and North Muncie homes where the central return is undersized and the upstairs runs 8 degrees hotter than the thermostat reads. Drop a single zone upstairs and the problem goes away for years.
What we do
- Single-zone installs. One outdoor unit, one indoor head. Common for a single room, garage workshop, or addition.
- Multi-zone installs. One outdoor unit feeding 2 to 5 indoor heads, each independently controlled. Common for whole-house retrofits on pre-war Muncie homes.
- Cold-climate cooling and heating. Most modern mini-splits provide both AC and heat. Useful as primary cooling and as shoulder-season or supplemental heat.
- Wall, ceiling cassette, and floor-mount heads. We pick the indoor unit style based on room and aesthetics.
- Disposal and electrical permitting. Standard on every install.
